Could the flood catastrophe in Libya have been avoided? | DW News

The International Red Cross says some 10,000 people are missing in Libya after Mediterranean storm Daniel caused catastrophic flooding. The floods swept away entire neighborhoods in a number of coastal towns. The destruction was worst in the eastern coastal city of Derna, where the heavy rains caused two dams to collapse, wiping out one quarter of the city.

Since I am Libyan, I strongly disagree with Mr. Anas, and he must verify his sources. He is not even in Libya. I am here and I can confirm that all cities in Libya stand in solidarity with the affected areas, and all political differences have been put aside for the time being , I have never seen solidarity like this before in the country, I mean, did you know, Anas? The aid convoys from yesterday have been continuing to reach the site, some of them coming from a distance of 2,000 kilometers and every city in Libya has sent Donations of vehicles, trucks, and ambulances in the hundreds, food, medical supplies, clothes, etc.... Citizens organize donation campaigns in every street, At the end of the day, with a simple search you can find out what is happening anywhere in the world and know the truth.

This makes sense now how this story seemed to come out of nowhere with an initial estimate of 2000 dead. It was because 2 dams collapsed that this kickstarted so quickly.

[@meowchat6175]

Yes, what do you think would cause concrete dams to break? Seismic activity! The entire African tectonic plate is rotating clockwise! What do you think caused the earthquake in Morocco? What do you think caused the recent earthquakes in Turkey and Syria? What do you think caused the wildfires in Turkey, Greece, Algeria and Tenerife? What do you think caused the container ships to get stuck in the Suez canal? What do you think caused the Johannesburg underground explosions? These areas are all located at the boundaries of the African tectonic plate that is literally moving and rolling clockwise and causing great havoc as it does

The collapse of the western sphere into complete ruin is the best thing that could happen to the entire planet!

Who is ultimately to blame? The US and NATO for destroying what used to be the richest and most developed country in Africa. Ever since toppling Gaddafi (one of the best leaders Africa ever had) and destroying his country, Libya has become a failed state not unlike Somalia, Afghanistan and other places the West destroyed. Did you know under Gaddafi's rule, Libya had free housing, free education, free healthcare, all paid for by oil & gas sales? Libya built Africa's most extensive irrigation systems, and invested heavily in modern infrastructure. It is destroyed now. Do you know how much the West is hated? If Gaddafi had still been in power, there wouldn't be 5,000+ dead from a flood.

My solidarity with the people of Libya. The 2 dams had already been inspected and alerts were issued by engineers, to reinforce the defenses of cities that could be hit by a flood. The country is politically and militarily divided with 2 independent administrations. On Saturday there was the earthquake in Morocco and there was also Storm Daniel in the Mediterranean Sea. I think these 2 natural phenomena affected the infrastructure of the 2 dams, leading them to total collapse. The number of deaths, the authorities already speak of more than 10 thousand people.

That was for Gaddafi

[@carolinegray7510]

To Anas: You clearly pointed to the heart of a tragically avoided disaster. Millions of people worldwide and so very few politicians yet they seem to be able to maintain their power and control. My hope is that you will not waver in your efforts; that your spirit is strong; that the intentions of your heart be on the path of godliness. May you be blessed on your journey.

Western destroy Libiya 😂 then act like a pity step mom 😂

[@PatricioGarcia1973]

They got rid of Kadafhi because he was bad an a new government would be better for Libya. Only thing they did was line their pockets and fight the other side. No one is going to be held accountable for 10 thousand deaths.

Very Sad News 😢😢😢

[@howner501]

No one is to blame, this storm caused devastation first in Greece then crossed the Med’ to Libya. This is what climate change looks like and it will get much worse. Storm Daniel: the name Daniel means ‘god is my judge’…?

[@dawn777771]

It isn't climate change. It's the birth pains of the book of Revelation. Jesus is coming back soon.

[@maryannmathers1736]

Shameful! Help get them out or STOP buying from them!! Prayers for all!

[@anangwidhi]

Deep condolences for brothers and sisters in Libya. Innalillahi wa innailaihi rojiun..

[@cositainquieta]

Ruego por los miles de mis hnos espirituales que perdieron todo y a sus seres queridos que Jehová Dios los fortalezca y pronto les llegue la ayuda necesaria que saben llegará. Mucha fuerza queridos hnos. Jehová Dios los cuidará como el Pastor a sus ovejitas con tierno cariño ❤

Libya is reaping the fruits of democracy.

[@randomhuman5525]

The democracy brought by America is bitter.

[@First-Last_name]

This is horrible. The world is sinking. Bangladesh, Libya, Lohachara Island, we're going under water.

[@dawn777771]

We are in the end times. Get right with God before it's too late. Jesus died for you and loves you.

[@Nexus-iy8ei]

My Condoleances God Bless LIBYA AMEN

10,000 people missing? They have all moved to Europe via inflatable boat.

[@gbates2955]

😂

[@giovannidepetris6335]

can someone comment on the climate ? never heard of floods in Libya in the last 70 years.

[@TJ-hs1qm]

Maybe climate change will make the Sahara green again like it was millennia ago. But many more will die until then.

[@psasy2010]

We get floods sometimes in the rainy season but they are so small and only affect certain neighbourhood and areas. This was worse than anything we've ever experienced

[@puraLusa]

As explained in the video 2 dams colapsed. This is an infrastructure and institutions issue not a flood issue per say. Also, there was a river in what is today lybia, it wasn't as dry as is now. With the right investment these floods would be an advantage and not the tragedy seen.

[@First-Last_name]

There was a very lage earthquake in Morocco with tremors felt in Portugal, Algeria, and Lybia. That was likely a contributing factor.

[@raclark2730]

Large storms in that part of the world have been noted back into antiquity. You see It is a maritime > climate

[@christianagyemang2466]

The wrath of Gadaffi

[@chikodilienemo5840]

The world is in turmoil. We need to come together and pray.

[@ofrihptangipapataura3541]

To all around the world instead of hating each other we need to start caring for one to another nature if mad at us 😎it's happening all around the world. God bless people stay safe

[@glenndouglas.T]

Bless them

[@MatthewSweeney1961]

Cross out "Libya" and write ""Earth." Cross out "who gets elected" and write "who pays lobbyists." Cross out "hope" and write "guillotine."

[@jacquelinehuver2534]

We are so sad to hear about this flood catastrophe. We are praying for Libya!

[@HVAC356]

What a wonderful thing. I am sure the prayers will turn into homes and bring their dead back. What does it even mean we praying for you? Is it just a verbal tick? Everyone saying our prayers are with this and that?

[@Chihuahua4ever]

My heart goes out to the innocent and helpless people who are affected by this tragedy.

[@joerogain5025]

Everyone over there likes to blame America for everything but I like to blame Russia cause America is non longer there but Putin and Russia are.

[@comrade9374]

Did Russia bomb libya and killed its leader

[@mafrica8105]

You are mad and and ignorant. Did Putin kill Qhaddafi, did Putin go to war in Libya, did Putin steal the Gold of Libya, take your racist comments somewhere else

[@schloops8473]

lots of fascis troll farmers from st-petersburg... they should be put on a terrorist list

[@freeworld1430]

BLAME it on america and nato for having Gaddafi killed. If Gaddafi had not been killed, he would have the dams repaired long time ago before such tragic disaster happened.

[@JohnDoe-ip2gs]

Good man told it like it is happening.
